Wave Rider 29

Daily TrainerRelease date 2025-08-22JP

Wave Rider 29 is a daily road trainer for easy runs and marathon preparation. Compared with the 28, both midsole layers use ENERZY NXT, the forefoot gains cushioning and the drop is reduced. Revised Wave plate and outsole construction save about 15g at 27cm while retaining stable transitions. Jacquard mesh, a stretchy gusseted tongue and X10 rubber complete the everyday platform.

Intended uses:
Jog, Daily, Long run

Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
Approx. 265g at 27.0cm from Mizuno Japan official product page and official PR Times release; U.S. official page previously listed 9.3 oz men's size 9.
Plate note
The Japan page's detailed section specifies plant-based Elastollan N for MIZUNO WAVE, which BASF identifies as TPU. Its comparison table instead says nylon, so the precise material wording remains unresolved. Both descriptions identify a non-carbon structure.
